I have an Watch Ultra since Oct 2022. I wear it at about 21:30 and I sleep with it every night (Theater mode on, Autosleep on). Wake up at 4:45 for one hour of calisthenics. Then go to school (I’m a teacher) I put it back on the charger every evening at about 20:00. Battery’s always around 60% left when I set it on its charger. It’s a beast and it is the Watch I was dreaming about when it was fist launched on 2015, a mix between Watch and Casios G-Shock that I used to wear in the army… Very good and didactic video. You have a new sub!
I get anywhere from 2 to 21/2 days out of mine with a lot of heavy usage between my barn schedule ( yess horses) and a rather brutal bus and bike commute to work. Both ways. Love this watch!
I used Garmin for 7 years, up until November 2023 - so a big fan of their products, but, there were a few things that just didn't work for me as well as the Ultra 2 does. I run through my thoughts and why I switched in the video below. th-cam.com/video/ZGYgMixwDOM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VDcezkAUOzqiSzsU
That’s some great battery life. I’ve started charging my ultra 2 after 2 days, but I don’t use it for sleep because I have another Apple Watch I use for that. Also I keep the screen always on. But that said, the watch definitely goes beyond apple’s 36 hours of battery life.
That’s crazy to say that, you rather use an other Apple Watch to track your sleep than using your very brand new one just for battery .. or I don’t know but let you do a favour here, ditch the old one and use the ultra 2 ! Don’t dwell on that thing
Does anybody knows if there is a new Apple Watch release on September 2024. I was wondering if they’re gonna sell the same models without an upgrade due to the patent infringement.
Tanks for this video. I’m with samsung, but i really like the Apple watch ultra watch look. Maybe i will switch for Apple after my cell phone contract.
Thanks dude, the charger was just a no name, budget thing from amazon, it works ok but would defo spend a bit more to get a better build quality/faster charge time when it needs replacing.
I ended up flip flopping between the Fenix and the AWU2 and just always kept going back to the AW. I really like the glances view on Garmin but the AW just has more of the extra features I need. I hope the recent changes in Watch OS11 are a show in apple taking a new direction towards showing metrics in a better way P.s what is the workout app you are using at the 3 minute mark?
I agree, the Apple website is WAY too conservative with their estimate. If you look at the fine print they are using the watch hard doing things like phone calls over cellular, navigation, checking the time every 5 mins etc. Even my 1st Gen Ultra could do 3 days when it was new (about 35% per day from my testing). Now my battery health is down to 95% and I'm running the Developer Beta of WatchOS11 so battery life has been a little bit terrible recently but hopefully by the time the final release of WatchOS 11 is out, battery life should be better. Also depending on what they give us in the Ultra 3 I might upgrade. If they use that new super efficient LTPO screen and a new 3nm chip then we could see a boost of battery life and that might just be enough for me to make the switch. I'd also like to see the new smarter Siri on the Apple Watch so fingers crossed for that.
This is true I’m getting tomorrow awu2 and I’m curious how long Im gina get battery on it. Because every one claim one to max two days and I’m asking my self how is this positively if I’m getting two days on my aw se 2. I thing even when most of the people not training they still have everything turn on on max and that’s why the battery is draining so fast. I setup my watch to when I not traning it read just my heart and thants it when I train it reads what it need. Tomorrow I will test it and I’m sure without traning I will get four days but with training day two or even maybe three. Of course diving or hiking it will be a day because it needs gps to use. We will see. Good video. At last some one tell the truth
Man, I struggle to get 2 days! And reading the comments people are getting 3 quite often. What are your settings for Pulse ox, motion reduction and brightness? I saw your watch face and it’s full of complications, so maybe the monochrome scheme helps?
Got my ultra 2 back in march it’s great you get so much for the money I think 800 is underpriced considering what it can do if they make a ultra 3 give us a 52mm screen a dark color different faces bigger battery and a cool unique band !!!!
2 weeks of battery life on my watch pairing with chest strap and exercise for a 2 hours a day, and i started to look for a new watch, to watch a video where they are grabbing for a 2 day battery life? Jesus Christ.....

@@BrunoDECOURCY a mix of Casio G-Shock and Apple Watch, now you’re talking! 👌

I’m very glad that I see someone doing that exercise without always on display! Very rare !
Useful video for me. I don’t work out as much as you, but need maps for hiking. Why did you choose the Apple Ultra 2 over the Garmin Epix Pro?

Mr. Tim, anyway you can tell us your current battery health for your watch & Ms. Zoey's watch pls?
Sure thing, mine is still at 99% and Zoes is down to 80%
Question do you have the always on display turned on or off
At the beginning of the video,he said it was turned off!
Great video ! Getting my ultra 2 this week and this was very informative!
Glad it was helpful! - And the watch is a top bit of kit 👌

Ive not heard anything, but genuinely, who can say for sure until it actually happens... that doesn't really answer your question, sorry.
Tanks for this video. I’m with samsung, but i really like the Apple watch ultra watch look. Maybe i will switch for Apple after my cell phone contract.
At 10:47 is it saying you're in low battery mode? Or is it giving you the option to turn it on?
It was the option to switch it on, I did not use low power mode for the entire time. 🙂
Nice Video! What Qi-Charger are you showing at the end?
Thanks dude, the charger was just a no name, budget thing from amazon, it works ok but would defo spend a bit more to get a better build quality/faster charge time when it needs replacing.
@@timarnoldpt Ok, thx for the quick reply and advice. Looked kinda nice in the video…

P.s what is the workout app you are using at the 3 minute mark?
It's called WorkOutDoors, I have a couple of videos coming this week and next talking about that one and a few others for the fitness world.

Just a full conclusion within those days at the end would of been good but nice from down under ❤
Thanks dude, appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it too 👌.
Not sure you said it or maybe I missed it but this battery life is with AOD off right?
It turns off every time your wrist turns
@@MigRx yes, I have it set to ‘raise to wake’
@@MigRx I have it set to ‘raise to wake’
Subbed.
The 36 hour is for standard time without low power mode and with it 72 hours
And I got 72 odd hours out of it in standard mode without using the low power option! - The thing is a beast! 👌
@@timarnoldpt you’ve just convinced me to get one

@@MigRx standard settings as it comes out of the box - I also have the AF tracking set to on so I get better/more accurate heart rate readings too
The less colour you have on the watch face the less battery is used. so black and white is the best option if you are concerned about battery
And with lte ?
@@mathieuangello as I mention in the video, I don’t use cellular, so can’t answer that.

The Dark colour is now here! But, no bigger screen or improved battery… 😔
I have 4 to 5 day normal use me Happy 🙂
That's awesome, love it!
No sleep tracking correct?
I track my sleep with it, I talk about this in the video. 👍
@@timarnoldpt yeah I saw that later on in your video. My bad.
I get three days all the time out of my ultra 2!!!!!!!!!!
I do as well...if you want the most, use a face with no complications, just time...
I can usually get 3 days with about 20% left very great on battery idk if it’s just me the standby time overnight takes a hit not much but just a tad
3 days is great for an Apple Watch I do not miss charging it every night
